the home team and the Kalamazoo cham
MONS was devoid of all interest. The at
tendance was large, but the crowd seemed
to be a good deal like the weatber-.quite
chilly, and there was simply not enough
excitement in the game to warm people up
About the only brilliant plays IN the game
were Dunn's throw from right field TO
third base and StapletOn's stop OF a wild
thrown ball. The loss of the game was
greatly due to Purvis' inability to throw
to second with any degree of success on
account of q lame arm, and when a Kaia-
mszoo man got first he stole second with
ont any trouble. BuDching their hits In
the first and eighth Won the game for Kali
amazoo. while the home team had men on
bases a number of times, but they were
left when a single would have brought two
men in. Nicholson did the heavy hitting
for Wheeling while the Kalamazoo boys
divided theirs up pretty we'll.
CURTIN UMPIRED
the game, and Judging from the way the
Kalamazoo players bossed him around,
the spectators were led TO believe that
thew owned him. In the eighth he called
Flanagan down for something, when the
latter told him in a dictatorial manner to
90 back and umpire the game, and he
went. without a word of reply. However
there is no cause to kick on his work, as he
seemed to do well enough, and If any.
roasting was done both sides got it equally.
One of the meanest and unkindest things
ever seen on the home grounds occurred in
the ninth inning when Crogan struck out,
A lot of hoodlums in the grandstand boot
ed at him derisiyely, and Jack felt so
broken up he could have sunk in the
ground had it opened. Wheeling people
have never treated a visiting ball player in
such a disrespectful manner, and those
who did the trick yesterday should be
well
ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
This is no way to encourage q ball play
er, and it is the first time that Jack has
received anything but plaudits. 1t must
have been a Bellaire gang. Following is
the game in detail.
